Joshua Barbosa

A Computer Science graduate with a creative mind and an eye for detail, who does not settle for less and is always willing to expand his horizons. Has cultivated experiences from both art and business alongside his technological focus to gain an interdisciplinary perspective. Most recently I am completing a Master of Management degree, understanding both technical and business concepts in the workplace.

I've gained various experience in software development, design, project management, and testing through UBC courses, co-op internships, and self learning. In my spare time I like to pursue creative pursuits such as drawing and writing, as well as participating in my community alongside my family in the form of volunteering for choir.
